About Kimberley

Kimberley Long draws on over a decade of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of experience supporting people with a wide range of issues. Kimberley keeps sessions focused and straightforward so people can talk and be heard without jargon.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and relationship problems.

Background and approach

Kimberley uses a person-centred way of working at the heart of her practice. That means she listens closely and follows the pace clients prefer. She combines that person-centred stance with practical CBT techniques to help people notice patterns of thinking and change unhelpful habits.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and motivational interviewing can be used to build emotional regulation and strengthen commitment to change. Mindfulness practices are introduced where they help with stress and attention. Kimberley has worked across NHS primary and secondary care, independent practice and community projects, so she is familiar with a variety of health and social care needs.

That background informs how she tailors sessions to suit each person's situation and goals. People seeking help for grief, parenting strain, career stress, intimacy and self-esteem issues find a straightforward, practical approach. Kimberley aims to help people feel more able to manage life changes and cope day to day.

She invites anyone who is ready to take the first step to start the conversation.

How her approaches work online

Kimberley combines a person-centred way of working with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills to support people online. Client-centred practice means the session is shaped around the person's priorities and pace, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help someone feel understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical steps to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression and problems like low mood or stress. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers simple skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress and improving communication, which is useful for anger, relationship difficulties and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberley discusses options with each person and agrees together which techniques to try. She adapts methods to fit goals, whether that means short-term solution-focused work or learning longer-term emotion regulation skills. The plan is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which give practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break, and messaging or live chat suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity of care even when travel or scheduling is difficult.
